We are honored to announce that JFS has received a transformative $5 million gift from the Appel Family Foundation to establish the Appel Family Foundation Strategic Growth and Sustainability Initiative.

“This generous gift allows us to invest in the programs our community relies on and the infrastructure behind them and ensures we are well-positioned for the future,” said JFS President and CEO Linda P. Foster.

We are deeply grateful to the Appel Family Foundation for their partnership and commitment to helping JFS continue making the greatest impact for the greater good.

If you’ve visited the JFS Community Table Lunch program since 2013, chances are you’ve been greeted by Lil S. Four days a week, Lil welcomes guests with her warm smile and a sparkle in her eyes.

This month, Lil turns 100 years old, and we’re honored to celebrate not only this milestone birthday, but the incredible impact she has made on our community over the years.

JFS ACC Care Manager Mollie S. shared:

“It’s a gift to know her. She touches everyone’s life—staff, volunteers, and lunch patrons. She lives this life on her terms, and you don’t meet a lot of people like Lil. She’s been my role model.”
